Template:Japanese/Related/Usage

This template adds a box with links to related vocabulary, lessons and other content. It helps tie pages together in a non-linear way to increase the flexibility of the Japanese book and reduce the duplication of content such as vocabulary links by providing a handy link for easy access (e.g. to help them create their own sentences during excercises).

A lesson including self-introduction could, for example, have links to Japanese/Vocabulary/Family and people and Japanese/Vocabulary/Countries, languages and nationalities.

Usage

edit
{{Japanese related|<type>|
<add links here>
}}

The <type> variable is used to change the colour of the links box. It specifically recognises

  • vocabulary,
  • lesson, and
  • content

and formats these specially.
